Most drastically, the administration has proposed ZERO funding for the federal Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board – which usually refers to itself as the Chemical Safety Board or CSB. CSB conducts independent investigations of major chemical accidents, issues accident-specific findings, offers specific or general recommendations for improved chemical handling and regulation, and has enacted a “Chemical Incident Reporting Rule.” (I wrote about the Rule [HERE](https://blog.stpub.com/chemical-safety-board-finalizes-chemical-incident-reporting-rule), and compliance guidance [HERE](https://blog.stpub.com/chemical-safety-board-issues-compliance-guidance-chemical-incident-reporting-rule)). The remainder of this note summarizes CSB’s latest guidance.  [Read More](https://blog.stpub.com/administration-proposes-zero-budget-for-chemical-safety-board) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.stpub.com/administration-proposes-zero-budget-for-chemical-safety-board#comments-listing) Tags: [OSHA](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/osha), [Environmental](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/environmental), [EHS](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/ehs), [EPA](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/epa), [CSB](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/csb), [Chemical Safety Board](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/chemical-safety-board), [Trump Administration](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/trump-administration), [EHS Compliance](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/ehs-compliance), [Incident Reporting](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/incident-reporting), [Accidental Release Prevention](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/accidental-release-prevention), [Process Safety Management](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/process-safety-management), [chemical incident investigations](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/chemical-incident-investigations) ## [EPA further limits uses of carbon tetrachloride and perchloroethylene](https://blog.stpub.com/epa-further-limits-uses-of-carbon-tetrachloride-and-perchloroethylene) Posted by [Jon Elliott](https://blog.stpub.com/author/jon-elliott) on Fri, Jan 10, 2025 - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blog.stpub.com/hubfs/pexels-mediocrememories-954585.jpg) ](https://blog.stpub.com/epa-further-limits-uses-of-carbon-tetrachloride-and-perchloroethylene) The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) includes procedures for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to evaluate risks presented by existing chemicals using the latest scientific information – incorporating information developed after a chemical entered use in the US. Based on these reviews, EPA updates its regulatory requirements, ranging from labeling-only through use restrictions up to and including bans from further distribution and use. (I summarized these review requirements [HERE](https://blog.stpub.com/the-new-tsca-1-reviewing-more-existing-chemicals)).  On December 18, 2024, EPA published restrictions in the Federal Register, for carbon tetrachloride (CTC) and perchloroethylene (PCE), based on its hazard reviews for those chemicals. The rest of this note discusses these new restrictions.
